Please make sure to let me know if your child has cold symptoms when I do reminder texts. Someone brought a child in last week with a cold and even with us both wearing a mask I got sick. The parent told me the child had a negative covid test so I agreed to see them but then ended up getting their cold. I also have a negative covid test. If this happens again I will ask the family to leave. I have asthma and even a simple cold is really tough for me to get through. I hope everyone understands.

01/19/2022

I just want everyone to know that I am keeping an eye on the weather and I can do telehealth appointments if the weather turns bad. I will be doing reminder texts as usual for the next few days and will text about it to coordinate at that time. Based on the hourly report I just saw, the weather will be fine through the day Thursday and then turn to freezing rain overnight or early Friday morning.

01/18/2022

With the increase in Covid as well as just being in the middle of cold and flu season I would like to remind everyone that I am still available by telehealth and can switch appointments from in person to telehealth with only a moments notice. Please do not bring your child to my office if your child or anyone in your family is sick even if its just a cold. As most of you know I have significant allergies which makes taking even cold medications quite difficult. I need to stay healthy too. I greatly appreciate your help in keeping me healthy.

Good morning. I wanted to let everyone know that due to the Covid rates climbing again from the Delta variant I will be asking parents to remain in the car whenever possible. The waiting room remains open to one family at a time but I prefer adults wait in the car when possible. Also if anyone in your family is sick please let me know so we can switch your appointment to telehealth. I continue to use Doxy which works on any device.

Good afternoon. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am now fully vaccinated. I have tons of allergies including to medications and vaccines so I waited but Pfizer is in saline, not in a serum that would cause an allergic reaction for me so I decided to go ahead and get the vaccine.

Good morning. I continue to see children having to switch to telehealth due to the child or a family member being exposed to Covid, someone not feeling well, etc. Please know this is always okay and I can switch back and forth from in person to telehealth all day long without a problem. You can always switch the appointment to telehealth, even at the last minute, just by texting or calling me. I continue to follow all guidelines, I wear a mask during in person sessions, use hand washing, hand sanitizer, etc. I also do not shop except for a weekly Sunday morning trip to the grocery store. Amazon is my new shopping outlet. EVeryone please stay safe.

The New Bern Hallmark Store on MLK has Warmies. These are stuffed animals filled with lavender beads that you can microwave and give to your child at bedtime to help him fall asleep and stay asleep. They have a large selection of them. I have had several parents tell me they really help with sleep.

Good morning. I wanted to let everyone know that I am now doing pretty well. I seem to have chronic congestion which I think is just from disinfectant chemical residue I cannot get away from but my breathing is not effected like it used to be. Please continue to not wear perfume to my office. I am asking adults to either wear a mask inside or let me just get your child from the car. I am continuing to try to keep people out of the waiting room whenever possible. Telehealth remains an option if you prefer but I do not think it works well for young children and I am dedicated to keeping my office open through the pandemic. I wipe things down often and I continue to ask children to wash their hands. We also use hand sanitizer between activities. I had to get rid of my legos as many of you know because I cannot spray them but I did buy some new building toys that have big enough pieces I can wipe them down. They should be arriving from Amazon any day. :)

I just wanted to update everyone and let you know that I am doing better every day. I have been cleaning with wipes for weeks both at home and at the office and as time passes my asthma is getting better. I have to get more consistent though at asking people to not wear perfume or cologne to the office and do not put it on your child. Other than spray disinfectants, perfume and cologne are my other big asthma triggers. I appreciate your cooperation.

PSA: DO NOT bleach your pumpkins to make them last longer!! I've seen this tip being shared all over social media this season and it stinks! Please remember pumpkins are food, especially to lots of the wildlife! Deer, squirrels, raccoons, possums, mice, rats, chipmunks, birds, and even bugs. We deliberately stick them outside somewhere where wildlife can access them and we DO NOT want our wildlife eating bleached pumpkins!!! 🐿🥺🖤

Instead, try using vinegar. 1 part vinegar to 10 parts water will work just as well. Thanks! 🎃

I wanted to update everyone with good news finally. I am on my second day of taking Singulair and I am already doing much better. The coughing and bronchial spasms have greatly decreased. Singulair weakens some parts of my immune system though so I will be asking you to not bring your child to therapy if they have a cold, flu or any other illness. I am also going to continue to need to avoid breathing in perfume, cologne and scented hand sanitizer but I am hopeful that I am now on the road to recovery. :)

If your child is used to playing with my legos while we talk, they can bring their own legos now and play with their own legos while we talk. Several children have done that this week and it works well. I can wipe down the table with a wipe afterward.

I know that everyone who is sending their children back to school will hear this week whether they are group A or B. I expect to have to switch children around so if you already have an appointment the week of October 19th and its on a school day just text me and I will switch them . I would rather do some switching around than have to cancel at the last minute.
